In light of the recent reports on food poisoning, the Department of Education (DepEd) reminds school heads and personnel to strictly adhere to existing food safety policies in schools, including dealing with ambulant vendors, to ensure that children are free from health risks.
DepEd has also instructed regional directors and schools division superintendents to oversee the effective management of the school canteens and underscore the accountability of the school officials.
As schools continue to promote food safety, DepEd enjoins parents and guardians to take a proactive role in helping children make proper food choices and practice proper sanitation.
DepEd also calls on stakeholders and local government units in promoting proper nutrition and food safety practices to protect children and strengthen communities. # Source – www.deped.gov.ph
